Meal Inspiration | Slimming World Style

The first groceries and meal plan I have shown for a good while... and something a little different in that I am now following the Slimming World healthy eating plan. I wanted to trim down a little bit after gaining weight following the birth of my second baby. So far I have done quite well on the plan (more on that later!)

Here are some of the recipes I want to cook this week for our tea time meals!

Prawn Stir Fry. Loads of vibrant vegetables, fresh prawns, perhaps some rice or noodles whichever I fancy! I will probably have this with some sweet chilli sauce for flavour, along with fresh chilli and ginger in the stir fry for tons of flavour.

Fish Pie. I don't slimming world-ify this meal, I just use a few syns for the sauce, which I make the traditional way with a roux and fish stock. Mash on top and lots of greens on the side too. Proper comfort food!

Homemade Nandos. One of our favourite meals, I use the coat n' cook pouches to marinade the chicken thighs before I griddle them. We usually have typical 'Nando's' sides such as homemade sweet potato wedges, grilled corn on the cob, macho peas with chilli and mint, spicy rice and lots of fresh salad.

Diet Coke chicken. I am not a huge fan of coke these days, especially diet, but so many of my slimming world group members rave about this meal done in the slow cooker with peppers, onions and other vegetables. I want to give it a go this week!

Salmon, farfalle pasta with asparagus, peas, broccoli and a sauce made from fish stock, soft cheese and herbs.
